If the called out person wants to claim bullying, and like minded colleagues see an opportunity for bringing the minister down, their evidence to the inquiry will be a killer.
You have no idea whether or not Raab crossed the line. But you’ll beliwve the anti-Tory group think and pile in.
No better than a kangaroo court, you and others of you ilk.

Did he raise issues in the appropriate manner with either Simon Case or his predecessor?
Dozens, indeed hundreds of Conservative ministers have led departments over the vast majority over the last 40 years without much incident. Raab, and Patel, are the outliers here. Not civil servants who have served Conservative ministers for the vast majority (or indeed, perhaps all) of their careers.
It’s worth noting Rishi Sunak picked the kangaroo.
